Chapter 331 Killing the God Bai Qi, Killing 40 Zhao Jun... (Subscribe)
"After Qin Xiaogong passed away, his son Qin Huiwen came to the throne. He was also the first king of Qin. Although this monarch had been punished by Shang Yang before, he was a young and promising monarch. After Shang Yang, he continued to implement Shang Yang's reform. At the same time, through Shang Yang's reform, the strength of Qin State has also been greatly enhanced. At this time, King Qin Huiwen began to attack Wei State on his own initiative and defeated Wei Jun. But this is more than that In this way, Shang Yang’s reforms did not only improve the strength of Qin State by one or two points. In particular, his military reforms gave Qin State a very strong combat effectiveness. After defeating the army of Wei State, Qin State returned to the country , defeated the combined forces of Wei, Zhao, Han, and Jin."

"Consecutive defeats of powerful countries such as Wei and Zhao finally made all the vassal states of the Warring States period realize the strength of Qin. At this time, Qin, under the leadership of King Qin Huiwen, joined forces with South Korea and Wei to attack Qi. State and Chu State, Qin State became the teacher of tigers and wolves for a while. Not only that, in order to solve the pressure on the rear. When King Qin Huiwen rescued the State of Shu, he directly destroyed the State of Shu, and then destroyed the State of Ba. As for Yiqu country, after a few battles, Qin has completely suppressed Yiqu country."

In the biography of Miyue, there are many introductions to King Qin Huiwen.

It can be said.

Qin's unification of the world did not start with winning politics.

In the era of King Qin Huiwen, he manifested it.

Even in the era of King Qin Huiwen's father, Qin Xiaogong, he had already performed.

For example, one of the systems that Shang Yang showed was the unified weights and measures, which laid the foundation for the later Qin State to unify the world.

"After the death of King Qin Huiwen, his son Qin Wuwen came to the throne."

Speaking of King Qin Wu, some fans asked at this time: "Mr. Chen Fan, is this King Qin Wu the one who died while holding a tripod?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded.

This said.

Everyone in the audience was discussing for a while.

"Holding a tripod to die, it turned out to be him."

"I'll go, isn't this a faint king?"

"This seems to be a little different from what Mr. Chen Fan said about the survivors of Fen VI."

Chen Fan did say it just now.

After Qin Xiaogong, Qin State is basically all Mingjun.

As for King Wu of Qin who died with a tripod before, he did the same.

But regarding King Qin Wu, Chen Fan knew that everyone had a lot of misunderstandings about him.

Chen Fan explained: "Maybe everyone will think that King Wu of Qin died with a tripod, which is a bit stupid. But in fact, King Wu of Qin is not stupid at all. You can see from his posthumous title that Qin Wu King Wu, if he can be called Wu in history, he cannot be a faint king. As for the death of lifting a tripod, this is actually an accident. If this accident did not happen, maybe King Wu of Qin lifted the tripod with Chu Zhuang It's the same as the king's aspiration to become the king of the world."

Yes.

As for those who covet Jiuding, one is King Wu of Qin, and the other is King Zhuang of Chu.

It can be said.

No matter whether it is aspirations or raising the top.

This is a manifestation of strength.

If he didn't have a certain strength, he would never dare to do so.

only.

Qin Wuwang's luck was a little bit worse, or in other words, the luck of the Zhou Dynasty was not over yet,
"Although King Wu of Qin came to the throne for only four years, during his time in power, King Wu of Qin not only consolidated his position, but also disintegrated the alliances of several powerful enemies who wanted to take advantage of the instability of the new king's ascension. On the other hand, in foreign relations In fact, although King Qin Wu is known as Wu, he is also extremely wise. Although he understands that the strength of Qin is very strong at this time, it has not yet reached the strength that can wipe out all the princes. In order to better expand, Qin King Wu adopted the strategy of uniting Wei and Yue to control Qi and Chu.

"In this way, when Qin State united with Wei State, and then united with Yue State to the east of Chu State, Qin State not only relieved the pressure, but also had the ambition to advance eastward. In order to be able to advance eastward, King Wu of Qin sent a large army Attacked South Korea and defeated South Korea. In the end, King Han had no choice but to send envoys to Qin State to apologize to King Qin Wu and negotiate peace with Qin State.

These performances.

It can almost be said that none of them are fatuous.

Not only is it not stupid.

And even his series of ancestors may not be able to do as well as Qin Wuwang.

It's only God's will.

King Qin Wu raised a tripod and died.

……

"I'll go, another reversal."

"Before, I really thought that King Qin Wu was a faint king."

"Unfortunately, he died too early."

After Chen Fan explained, everyone suddenly realized.

"However, although King Qin Wu passed away early, Qin State soon supported a new king. This king is King Qin Zhaoxiang, and some people also call him King Qin Zhao. King Qin Zhao is the younger brother of King Qin Wu. King Zhao came to the throne at a young age, and at that time his mother, the Empress Dowager Xuan, was in charge of the government. Although the Empress Dowager Xuan controlled the Qin State, the strength of the Qin State continued to develop during her control."

This Empress Dowager Xuan is Mi Yue in Mi Yue Biography.

"As for the Empress Dowager Xuan, she is also a legendary figure. Empress Dowager Xuan's surname is Mi, a native of Chu, and later Qin and Chu married, so she married King Huiwen of Qin. King Huiwen’s harem was only given the title of Bazi, so she was also called Bazi Mi. After the death of King Qin Huiwen, Queen Mother Xuan took control of the government and made her son King Qin Zhao the king.”

"During the reign of Queen Mother Xuan, Yiqu in the rear has always been a threat. Yiqu Kingdom is a branch of the Huns, and in order to completely eliminate Yiqu. Queen Mother Xuan used herself as a bait and gave birth to two sons with the king of Yiqu Kingdom. Son. In 272 BC, Empress Dowager Xuan lured King Yiqu to come to Qin State and killed him. Afterwards, Qin State took the opportunity to attack Yiqu State and wiped out Yiqu State. So far, Qin State has no future troubles at all. worry."

Speaking of the Queen Mother, if you want to talk about it, you may really need to talk about a book.

For this, Chen Fan simply talked about the Queen Mother.

But even so.

The legendary life of Queen Mother Xuan still amazes the audience.

"Tsk tsk, bully."

"It feels like Wu Zetian again."

"Well, it is estimated that Wu Zetian also referred to the deeds of the Queen Mother."

of course.

The Empress Dowager Xuan has a series of stories.

such as.

It was the Empress Dowager who gave birth to the title of Empress Dowager in China.

As for the title "Zhen", it was also called from the Queen Mother Xuan.

"Although Queen Mother Xuan was in power in Qin State, King Qin Zhao abolished the Queen Mother Xuan's regime after King Qin Zhao got older, so King Qin Zhao began to rule. During the reign of King Qin Zhao, King Qin Zhao reused Fan Ju and adopted the strategy of making friends from a distance and attacking close to him. At the same time, King Zhao of Qin also reused the general Bai Qi during his reign, and the strength of Qin State was improved by leaps and bounds."

"Here, let's focus on Bai Qi and the Battle of Changping led by Bai Qi."

Tell the truth.

There are two extremely important points for Qin to rule the world.

One is Qin Xiaogong's Shang Yang Reform.

The other is the Battle of Changping where King Qin Zhao reused Bai Qi.

One is to give Qin the foundation to rule the world.

The other is to make Qin completely become the super overlord among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

"During the period of King Qin Zhao, the strength of the State of Qin was already very strong. At this time, King Qin Zhao, like his ancestors in all dynasties, had the ambition to attack the six kingdoms. At this time, a general named Bai Qi appeared. At the beginning, Bai Qi He only served as a junior general in the army. But in battles again and again, Bai Qi performed outstandingly, so far he has been reused by King Qin Zhao. After being reused by King Qin Zhao, Bai Qi has displayed his military talents even more."

"In the 15th year of King Qin Zhaoxiang, Bai Qi sent troops to attack Wei, and captured 61 cities in Wei in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for Qin to go east to Weihan.

In the 16th year of King Qin Zhaoxiang, Bai Qi and Ke Qing Sima Cuo jointly captured the city.

In the 21st year of King Qin Zhaoxiang, Bai Qi attacked Zhao Guo and captured Guanglang City.

In the 27th year of King Qin Zhaoxiang, Bai Qi attacked Chu, and the Chu army was defeated. He cut Shangyong and the land north of Hanshui to Qin for peace.

In the 28th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the State of Qin attacked Chu again, and Bai first captured five cities including Yan and Deng with the army of Shangyong in the north of Han Dynasty.

In the 29th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin Dynasty, Bai Qi's army interspersed behind the Chu army, defeated the Chu army, captured the capital of Chu, burned Yiling, the tomb of King Chu, and marched eastward to Jingling. The Chu army was defeated and retreated to Chen.In the same year, Qin captured Chu State Wu and Qianzhong County.

No need to look at anything.

Just by looking at these achievements, you can know how terrifying the general Bai Qi is.

And precisely because of Bai Qi's performance in meeting gods and killing gods and Buddhas in the battlefield, Qin Zhaowang named Bai Qi the Lord of Wu'an, and Bai Qi became famous all over the world.

"However, these are not the most powerful places of Bai Qi."

Yes.

Although the above achievements can almost make Bai Qi boast for a lifetime.

But in the face of the upcoming battle, the above is just an appetizer.

"In the 45th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Bai Qi captured Yewang of South Korea, and the road from South Korea's Shangdang to the capital was cut off. So the monarch of South Korea proposed to cede Shangdang to Qin State to show peace with Qin State. However, although the South Korean monarch did Such a decision was made, but South Korean generals and people in Shangdang did not agree. They said that once Shangdang was handed over to Qin, they would no longer be citizens of South Korea. Instead of this, it is better to surrender Zhao Guo. Although Zhao Guo and South Korea are two countries, they were one family after all.

So Shangdang generals sent envoys to Zhao.Faced with the surrender of the Shangdang people, King Zhao also hesitated.He wanted to accept Shangdang, but he was afraid of Qin's attack.At the same time, Minister Zhao's side was also divided into two factions.One faction said that they should not accept it. Once they accept Shangdang, they will inevitably be attacked by Qin State. It is not a good thing to anger Qin State for no reason.But the other faction believes that sometimes we launch an army of millions to attack, and it is difficult to capture a city for many years.Now that Shangdang has seventeen cities, they can take them down without doing anything, so what is there to think about.So King Zhao asked, what if Qin Guo came to attack Zhao Guo?The other ministers said that Qin State has Bai Qi, but they also have a famous general Lian Po in Zhao State.Maybe other people are afraid of Bai Qi, but Lian Po can definitely withstand Bai Qi's attack. "

that's it.

Because of the battle of Shangdang, the biggest battle in the Warring States Period, the Battle of Changping, officially kicked off.

"I don't care, this background is so powerful."

"Qin vs. Zhao."

"Bai Qi versus Lian Po, who can win?"

Bai Qi and Lian Po are also the four famous generals of the Warring States Period.

Both of them have very strong reputations, and their abilities are also very outstanding.

At the same time.

The strength of Qin State is also very strong.

Although the State of Zhao is not as good as the State of Qin, after the decline of the States of Wei, Qi, and Chu, the State of Zhao at this time is the only country that can compete with the State of Qin.

"Because of the Shangdang dispute, the soldiers of Qin State and Zhao State started a contest in Changping. In order to defend Qin State, Lian Po deployed three lines of defense in Changping. The first line was the Kongcangling line of defense, and the second line It is the Danhe line of defense, and the third line of defense is the Bailishi Great Wall. The three lines of defense are tens of miles from east to west, scattered and connected to each other. However, the Qin army's fighting power is fierce, and Zhao's first line of defense is in jeopardy."

"Then Lian Po re-examined his strategy. He believed that from the perspective of terrain, Qin's supply line was much longer than Zhao's, and logistical support was more difficult than Zhao's. So Lian Po voluntarily gave up the first line of defense, and then Retreat to the second line of defense. This strategy is undoubtedly successful. Facing the impenetrable Lian Po, the Qin army failed to break through Zhao's second line of defense. In this way, the two armies came to a stalemate in Changping Three years. The Qin army didn't gain much, and it also lost soldiers and generals."

Although the battle of Changping is the most famous is Bai Qi and Lian Po.

But in fact.

At the beginning of the Battle of Changping, Qin State did not send Bai Qi to play, but instead used General Wang Lu.

Although Wang Lu is not as famous as Bai Qi, Wang Lu has served Qin for three generations, is very loyal, and has a high level of ability.

As for why Wang Lu was used instead of Bai Qi.

That's because, on the one hand, Bai Qi has already been famous all over the world after decades of fighting, and dozens of big and small battles.

Let him continue to fight, it is really a bit of a masterpiece.

another.

At that time, Qin State didn't think that Zhao State was too difficult to fight. It only thought that the Battle of Changping was a local war, not a war of annihilating the country.

but.

The further they fought, the whole battle situation changed a lot.

"The Battle of Changping has lasted for three years. Although Qin State lost its soldiers and generals and did not gain much benefit, it was also a huge damage to Zhao State. We know that in addition to fighting for military strength, it also fights for logistics and food. Supply. After the three-year war, the two sides invested hundreds of thousands of troops, and the consumption of food was extremely huge. After the reform of Shang Yang, the Qin State has already greatly increased the production of food. Because the common people have land, and the Qin State The establishment of military merits also allowed soldiers to own fields. Qin soldiers brought their own money and food when they went to the battlefield. Therefore, Qin was able to persevere during the three-year battle of Changping. But Zhao, because the reform was not thorough , Zhao’s grain output is only one-third of Qin’s. Three years of fighting with hundreds of thousands of troops has already overwhelmed Zhao’s burden. Thus, the war has also begun to turn.”

"Qin Guo saw that he could not attack Zhao Guo for a long time, so Fan Ju, the Prime Minister of Qin Guo, used countermeasures. He sent people to Zhao Guo with a thousand pieces of gold to spread rumors, saying that Lian Po was actually easy to deal with. What Qin Guo feared most was not Lian Po. It is Zhao Kuo. This Zhao Kuo is the son of Zhao She, the general of Zhao State. Although Zhao She is a general, Zhao Kuo has not enough battlefield experience. But after being a famous general, although Zhao Kuo lacks experience, he has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child. Even when discussing the tactics of war with his father Zhao She, Zhao She was no match for his son Zhao Kuo. As a result, Zhao Kuo was young but had a great reputation."

"On the one hand, King Zhao can't afford it, and on the other hand, King Zhao also wants to end the war with Qin as soon as possible. At this time, I heard that Zhao Kuo is also very good at leading troops, and he is also good at taking the initiative to attack. So I took it as a fluke Psychologically transferred back to Lian Po, and appointed Zhao Kuo as a general. Before Zhao Wang appointed Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo's mother wrote to Zhao Wang, this is my son, I know his ability, he just said that he is powerful , but the actual combat experience is too lacking. If Zhao Wang must use his own son, then if he is incompetent in the future, I hope Zhao Wang, you will not implicate their Zhao family. Zhao Wang agreed to her request, but still enabled Zhao Wang include."

The Battle of Changping can be said to be the most classic and largest battle in the Warring States Period.

Although his cause is not complicated.

But in this war, he changed the pattern of the entire Warring States.

At the same time.

In the war, he did not only show the confrontation between the two armies.

During the three-year-long Battle of Changping, while Zhao Guo was fighting, he actually wanted to seek peace from Qin State.

and.

The State of Zhao also sent envoys to the State of Qin.

But on the one hand, the state of Qin entertained the envoys of the state of Zhao very passionately, which made the state of Wei and Chu think that the state of Zhao was negotiating peace with Qin, and dared not send troops to rescue the state of Zhao.On the other hand, it has increased the force against Changping.

"And just after King Zhao activated Zhao Kuo, King Qin secretly appointed Bai Qi as a general and Wang Yan as his deputy. As soon as the young Zhao Kuo came on the field, he began to attack actively. Bai Qi lured the enemy into deep , until Zhao Kuo led the army to the camp of Qin State, they were unable to attack for a while. Bai Qi secretly sent another elite to copy the back route of Zhao State. Zhao Kuo found out that he had hit the trick, so he ordered the attack to stop. Go defensive instead."

"King Qin Zhao learned that the main force of the Zhao army was besieged, and he knew that a great opportunity had come. He came to Hanoi County in person and granted all the local people a first-class title. Then he recruited men over 15 years old in Hanoi County to join the battle, and then intercepted Zhao Guo. In September of the same year, Zhao Jun’s food and grass were cut off for more than 40 days. Zhao Kuo organized an elite soldier to break through four times, but they still failed. The last time Zhao Kuo led the team himself and was shot to death by random arrows. Finally, Zhao Guo The army knew that this war could not go on, so 40 troops surrendered to the Qin army."

"Facing the 40 troops, although Bai Qi accepted their surrender, he didn't know how to deal with it all at once. If these surrendered troops were assigned to the Qin army, although this was the practice of many countries before, this A large number of troops, even if divided, will cause chaos. If they are allowed to go home, this is even more impossible. Of course, there is another way, and that is to become slaves of the Qin State. This seems to be possible, but it is actually a Impossible. The Battle of Changping lasted three years. Because of the food problem, Zhao Guo took the risk to switch to Zhao Kuo. In fact, Qin was seriously injured at that time. Not only did he lose his troops, but his food was also lost Too much. It’s easy to recruit or make them slaves, but they don’t have enough food to feed the 40 troops.”

then.

The problem is out.

How did Bai Qi solve the 40 surrendered Zhao troops?
This is also the question of everyone.

Facing the eyes of everyone.

Although they didn't ask, Chen Fan knew that they were actually waiting for an answer.

And what is the answer.

Chen Fan sighed helplessly, and said, "Kill."
